<div>Help ignite change by supporting a daring pan-African magazine from Ethiopia. Fatteh’s mission is to illuminate the lives of the millions of ‘invisible’ LGBTQ+ people across the region. On a continent where 33 of the 54 countries criminalise same-sex relations, Africa’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities are among the most marginalised and persecuted in the world — but also some of the most vibrant and resilient.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fatteh launched in August 2025 to tell their stories — our stories — from the inside. Our contributors often risk their lives to do so. We give readers an opportunity to see themselves fully reflected and authentically represented, something that’s unimaginable in the mainstream media across much of the continent. We use journalism as a tool for advocacy: raising awareness, increasing visibility, challenging harmful narratives, fostering acceptance, attracting allies and building solidarity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our bilingual reporting, in both English and Amharic, chronicles everyday life and extraordinary moments and helps human rights defenders hold leaders to account. But most important of all, it is a refuge for people in search of hope, community and guidance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why your support matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At a time when LGBTQ+ people face growing repression, violence and harsher laws across much of Africa, platforms like Fatteh are a lifeline. Without independent LGBTQ+ media, abuse goes unchallenged, history goes undocumented and communities lose their ability to share their struggles as well as their triumphs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support helps ensure these voices are no longer silenced or distorted. Join our effort to inform, inspire and empower people whose stories deserve to be told on their own terms. Help them fight for the security, dignity and equality they need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why we’re fundraising</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

</li>
<li>Manage social media and community engagement
</li>
<li>Cover essential publishing, subscription and accessibility tool costs
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
